How to grow a dead person (3)

The 'Lake of the Moon' on the first floor of the Tower of Trials.

It is a place boasting such a beautiful view that it is said that the moon in the night sky looks as if it is below the surface of the water.

However, no one came to this place regardless of its name.

It's a natural thing.

It was not the time to enjoy leisurely leisure in a situation where the survival of mankind is at stake.

It is more beautiful than any other place, but more lonely than any other place.

It was the moon lake.

But right then.

Someone approached the lake shore.

It was Jinhyuk.

It's been a while since I've been here...

When my level was low, I used to come here often.

After crossing the middle of the tower, I hardly found it.

When I saw it again, I was very impressed.

[You seem to have a good taste, but by what means are you hunting here?]

Alice's voice came out of the ring.

Look.

Jin-hyeok, who smiled bitterly, started walking along the edge of the lake.

It wasn't my intention to go for a walk in the middle of the night.

Because there was something to find.

footsteps accelerated

The pupils also moved rapidly.

Obviously, around here .

'also !'

Jinhyeok, who found a fragment resembling a carp, stood tall.

Although it is only one of the 12 Fragment statues on the shore of the lake, in fact, this Fragment statue had another purpose other than simply adorning the lake.

Jinhyuk reached out and touched Fragment's arms.

is touched

Concave grooves on the edge!

[Oh. Is there something like a secret button on that Fragment?]

If it was that easy, everyone would have noticed right away.

Isn't it too funny to look at the dead people of the world?

You just couldn't find a single button on the Fragment?

In fact, the number of players who found this groove easily exceeded three digits.

It was even mentioned in the community from time to time.

However, despite rumors of their own, none of them succeeded in finding the key that fits the groove in the end.

there's no choice but to

'This is not a key to open.'

moon lake.

According to its name, the key to unlocking the secret on this Fragment is a bit special.

Jinhyuk covered the keyhole with his palm.

moonlight is blocked

Whoops.

As I removed my palms, the moonlight illuminated the grooves again.

'great.'

Jinhyuk used his palm to control the amount and angle of light coming in in the same way.

calmly... .

If either one of them is out of sync, you can't satisfy this picky guy.

Once, twice and once again.

The moonlight struck the groove in a peculiar rhythm.

right at that moment.

kukukuku!

The whole lake began to vibrate violently.

Just like Moses dividing the Red Sea, it was truly spectacular to see the water that filled the lake divided into left and right.



The terrain has completely changed.

'Where should I go?'

Jinhyuk went down the long stairs leading to the bottom of the lake to the basement.

jerk.

A secret layer that has never been allowed to enter by humans.

Therefore, it is a place with indescribable mystery.

Finally.

[You have entered the first basement floor of the Tower of Trials.]

'Underground spawning ground' is one of the hidden places in the Tower of Trials.

Finally, we have reached a customized hunting ground where we can grow like crazy.

You can come out.

Jinhyuk reached the bottom and injected mana into Braham's ring.

OK.

huuuuuuoooooooooooooooooooo

A vampire with long silver hair appeared.

It's a version reduced to 30 cm to be exact.

Alice looked around in disbelief.

Oh my God. How could there be such a space under the tower?

It seems to be quite a surprise.

It was ridiculous to see the red pupil dilate and contract repeatedly.

how?

Huh?

More and more, don't you think it was a good thing you signed a contract with me?

Well. I don't think what he said at the time was completely nonsense. A little... a little, really, I think it was a little bit believable.

Alice answered, avoiding Jinhyuk's gaze.

with pride.

Jinhyuk, who had been kicking his tongue inwardly, stopped.

After that, I had a question.

'What do the guys in the tower think of the player?'

We know that the game is a reality, but... .

Do they really think they are part of the data in the game?

Or maybe the huge world called the Tower of Trials actually existed somewhere other than Earth?

There are many possibilities, but there is no way to know the correct answer.

Because I couldn't find it on Naver or Google.

However, if it's Jinjo, Alice, who has been around for thousands of years... .

Maybe you can give me the answer.

"Elise, I have a question for you."

Jinhyuk's lips were soft.

By the way.

"???????????? ???????????????? !"

The words that came out of his mouth were not Korean.

No, it wasn't any language.

Only a combination of an ear-scratching dissonance and an unpleasant tone.

What, what are you talking about? Scary.

Elise flinched and stepped back.

indeed.

Is it like this?

I was thinking about how to resolve the sense of incongruity between the player and those who were in the tower.

In fact, the exchange of information has been blocked at the source.

A simple but sure way.

No, nothing. It was useless nonsense.

At least it's a big boon just to find out that you can't talk to the beings inside the tower on this topic.

'It must have been blocked by text messages or other means.'

Jinhyuk took out 'Frozen Tears' and 'Twilight Dew' from his arms.

Before starting hunting in earnest, it was necessary to raise the absolute amount of mana.

['Twilight Dew' comes into contact with 'Frozen Tears']

[The second thawing begins.]

with warm light.

tsutsutsutsutsu .

A new mana began to seep into Jinhyuk's body.

[Mana is increased by +18.]

great.

With this, the second thawing was successful.

The difference appeared immediately.

Whoa!

Stable breathing and smooth flowing mana.

Clearly, maintaining Elise has become much more comfortable.

Well, I guess I'll just have to be comfortable.

In terms of level, it was like level 6 went up.

'I want to try it quickly.'

Indeed, how many unique abilities and skills can be used with increased mana, I wondered like crazy.



There is one reason why the first basement floor of the Tower of Trials is called a 'spawning ground'.

This is because monsters constantly crawl out of the abyss.

Kie-ee!

Aww!

Insects wrapped in black skin screamed.

Doo doo doo doo!

A group of beetles the size of a tiger.

Dozens of legs moved, and the distance quickly narrowed.

In addition to the number of capitals, each level was over 20.

It means that they are all tough guys.

Boom!

kwaang!

As the distance drew closer, the insects jumped in unison.

However, just before the sharp claws and teeth touched Jinhyuk.

[The unique ability 'Star Blessing' is activated!]

A ray of light fell from the lake.

kukuku kuk kuk!

The power to bring out the protection of the constellations.

That was Teresa's unique ability.

[Monsters' magic defense is reduced by 30%.]

[Monsters' physical defense is reduced by 30%.]

Kee-e-e-e!

Keek! Keeek!

Insects twisted and suffered.

Having lived in the dark for a long time, I couldn't stand the light so bright.

From their point of view, it must be like burning your eyes with fire.

And it wasn't Jinhyuk who would just stand by and look at such a defenseless enemy.

After all, I have to burn the worms for my taste.

Crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.

It was appropriate to make every single one out of a lump of charcoal.

Whoops!

The 'Element of Fire' manifested in his left hand gradually increased in size.

From the size of a baseball to the size of a basketball... .

From the size of a basketball, it eventually became a gigantic sphere measuring 1m in diameter.

Jinhyuk's shoulders were greatly tilted back.

The fear burned more fiercely.

Keiei...

Key!

Insects completely crawled on the ground.

There was a gap in the front skin.

now!

Jinhyuk released the mana he had gathered to the limit.

KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa!

A stream of fire engulfed the insects.

Blind monsters turned into a handful of ashes without even screaming.

Is it roughly arranged?

the moment you said that.

No, come again.

Elise glanced back.

Suddenly, dozens of new insects were crawling out.

Don't just talk, show your skills. Do you have to pay for the meal?

What? To use this noble body's power against these lowly bastards...

A noble person can't look at the sunlight, so can you keep him in a ring forever?

Still haven't fixed the habit of looking down from the throne?

'I was the queen of the empire, but when I opened my eyes, I became the Sudra of India'

What, can you take some pictures of this kind of ropan possession?

At Jinhyuk's sullen threat, Elise trembled.

knowing it instinctively.

That whining can make you really miserable.

Oh, okay. You can do it, if you do!

[[Ellis is Lv??]

Activate 'Blood Bind'!]

huuuuuuoooooooooooooooooooo

It was then that drops of blood appeared in the air.

A huge circle made of red liquid.

In the key?

Kek?

In the blink of an eye, the insects' bodies hardened.

It is a skill that boasts a whopping double-digit level.

No matter how much an insect-like monster that weighs several dozen times my body weight, I can't help but cringe.

Now you just need to finish.

Jinhyuk grabbed the dagger and approached them.

'It's also worth using.'

It doesn't kill, but it stops at the line of support.

The experience will be monopolized by the person who delivered the final blow.

It was for this reason that he had to hold Elise by handing out mana.

Scratch!

The dagger drew an arc.

The insect's neck was neatly cut off.

Next, then again.

As long as their movements were sealed, dealing with them was just a piece of cake.

[Level has risen!]

[Level has risen!]

[Level has risen!]

A level that goes up like crazy.

The status window flickered incessantly.

'haha.'

A laugh came out of Jinhyuk's mouth.

It must be so much fun to run wild as you please.

No, seriously.

I thought I was going to die from waiting.

'It seems that the stress of having to maintain level 1 has accumulated too much.'

But from now on, you don't have to.

Finally, he was able to satisfy his thirst to be strong until he was satisfied.

Doo doo doo doo!

I saw new insects coming up again.

Don't go out this time.

Do it yourself?

Yes. I want to test how much I can use this ability with the mana I currently have.

Jinhyuk injected mana into the dagger.

[The unique ability 'Sword Graveyard' is activated!]

The swordsman's talent permeated into every cell.

I feel like my whole body is becoming extremely sharp.

pounding! pounding! pounding!

My heart started beating fast.

For the first time ever, a proper stage.

Please. Please don't stop and come endlessly.

fault!

Jinhyuk took his seat.
